COVE'REQ DlSi-i.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Pa'ent No. 329,228, dated October 27, 1885. Application filed January 7, 1885. Serial No. 152,190. (No model.)

To @313 whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, WILMER F. SNIVELY, of Bellaire, in the county of Belmont and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Covered Dishes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,

such as will enable others skilled in the art 7 till,

1 ta o in their sockets, but renders the to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in covered dishes, the object of the same being to provide a dish with a detachable bail 0* simple, economical, and durable construction adapted to support the dish-cover in elevated adjustment, a further object being to provide a cover with a knob or handle of neat'des'ign adapted to'pass through a loop in the bail and hold the cover against' liability of displacement; and with these ends in view my invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed outin the claims,

the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the dish with the cover in elevated adjustment, and Fig. 2 is a detached view of handle. I represents a dish of any desired pattern, provhled with two pairs of sockets, a, located diarmitrically opposite each otherin the out rim the dish.

l; is the cover. It is provided at its top with a spear-shaped knob or handle, 6.

" iii C consists of two pieces of wire together or soldered or twisted and solde as shown, and bent-apart at the top, for-rain elongated loop, 0, adapted to re eeive t a handle Z when the latter is turned in ill. :iy therewith. The adjacent ends Oi s which form the bail are first bent other, as shown at c; then iwardly parallel, or nearly so, i 2 her, as shown at c and are then Lily, forming the retaining-hooks a,

which adapted to enter the sockets a, The wire of which the bail C is oonst spring metal, and the bail is of such at the tension of, the wire tends'to the dish is prevented from tilting while being" carried from place to place, as is the case with dishes supported by a single rod detachable bail.

I have mentioned the cover handle or knob as spear-shaped, butdo not wish to be understood as limiting myself to that particular style, as a T-shaped'handle, or any style of handle longer than it is wide and provided with wings'adapted' to pass up through the loop 0 and when turned one-fourth of a revolutionrest on the sides of the loop, would fall within the spirit and scope of my invention,- but my preferred mode of construction is to provide the wings of the knob or handle with under-cuts, as shown in Fig.

1, which tend to lock the cover against a r0 tary displacement when in its elevated position. v

I am aware that it is not new to provide a dish or jar with a removable bail, and also that it is not new to provide a bail with a bend or loop therein for removably' holding the cover of the vessel, and hence I makeno claim, broadly, to these constructions; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- v 1. The combination, with a dish having retaining-sockets on its opposite sides, of a detachable bail consisting ,of pieces of wire secured together and bent fork shape at the ends for engaging the sockets, substantially as set forth, v

2'. The combination, with a dish having retaining-sookets'on its opposite sides, of a detachable spring-metal bail provided at its opposite ends with icrk-shaped projections for entering the sockets in the dish, and pro vided centrally with an elongated closed loop, and a knob or handle on the cover adapted,

to pass through said closed loop and lock 1 he cover in an elevated position.

3. The combination, with a dish and. its

cover, of a Wire bail consisting of pieces of Wire secured together and detachably secured to the dish, the wire sections of the bail being separated at the top to form an elongated 5 loop adapted to receive a knob on the cover,

substantially as set forth. 4. The combination, with a dish and its cover and a detachable bail provided with an elongated loop at its top, ofa cover-handle :0 adapted to pass through the loop, and provided with undercut wings for locking the cover to the bail in elevated adjustment, subing witnesses. v
